I then unliked and they didn't come back then either. But, I can't be bothered to either find the post, try to recreate, clear cache, cookies, blow my nose, whistle dixie, to help as we can see it is not in anyone's optic.
Interesting. I haven't seen anything like that happen yet. I'll keep an eye out for it.

When something like this breaks, it takes a while to diagnose it if there aren't precise methods to recreate it and all the situations the bug happens in. And with sufficient information, someone at IB that knows the setup intimately can even know where to look.

I understand it doesn't have eyes on it, but remember, for all intensive purposes this is a 'free' service to us so if they can't be bothered, it's not like we have any rights to force the issue since we are effectively hitching a free ride. When site metrics start having issues due to it and starts affecting advertising sales, that's when the guns will bear down on it, but probably not a minute before unless all the other work is 'caught up' or it's in a scheduled maintenance window.
